    x86emul: only emulate software interrupt injection for real mode
    
    Protected mode emulation currently lacks proper privilege checking of
    the referenced IDT entry, and there's currently no legitimate way for
    any of the respective instructions to reach the emulator when the guest
    is in protected mode.
    
    This is XSA-106.
